So, we'll have another chapter. As probably the whole story will end with chapter 21 (+epilogues), we have 33% of the content ahead. This chapter more or less concentrates on Olivier and Martha and their plans for the close future. :)
2022-07-04 10:48:45 +0000 UTC View PostA new release - Patreon has some problems with the attachments, but I hope there will be a new chapter for you...

2022-06-30 14:22:53 +0000 UTC View PostWell, Robert's fate, if the ritual was performed, would be quite different. As another preview of the upcoming chapter, let's see if Carl is the best person who should have magical powers.

"The Parity" has reached 500 likes at TFGames. It was my personal goal to achieve. :) I'm glad that there are at least 500 people who recommend my first attempt to make a Twine game. :)
I'm working on Chapter 14, and I'm working quite quickly, so I hope that the new release will be sooner t...
2022-06-04 13:05:14 +0000 UTC View PostHere's another scene from the upcoming chapter. If Robert didn't witness the ritual it has some details concerning the Neighbours instead. But I decided to show you the variant with the most extended Bimbo-Pauline's part.

2022-06-03 10:01:28 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 14 opens one of two ways to change Pauline back to Paul. But of course, she can decide that she doesn't want to exchange places with Robert. Here are three passages as a preview of the upcoming chapter:

2022-06-01 09:28:24 +0000 UTC View PostA short scene from the upcoming chapter. It will take place in a hotel room where Carl will take Pauline to, let's say, celebrate his victory over Parity. I've had this scene in my mind for a long time, and I think it's a good sum of this character.

Patch to 0.53 version. Some minor bugs and typos fixed. It's easier (from 9 to 7) to get Martha's help in chapter 13 (it seems that the threshold is too high).
2022-05-31 06:37:55 +0000 UTC View PostSo, after the chapter 13 we have a big switch about Caroline's path. I'm curious what happened in your walkthrough. :)
2022-05-29 09:55:56 +0000 UTC View Post
Here we go with another chapter. :) It could be very short or very long, depending on your previous choices, but as you can see, it offers one of the endings of Robert's path (of course, if Carl's plans suceeded).
2022-05-28 14:07:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello everybody. :) I'm officially coming back to live and create. Those 6 months were really rough, but May was calm enough to bring Parity back to life. ;)
2022-05-26 18:25:16 +0000 UTC View PostHey! First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of an update. Covid hit me, and I needed much time for the recovery. On the other hand, February was quite busy because of the situation in Eastern Europe. For now, I withdrew my resignation from my work. I got the promotion and a new goal - I'l...
2022-02-25 10:14:18 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I caught covid. :/ I feel quite well (the vaccination in October hit me more). I try to write, but I'm not the most effective with that. :(
2022-01-19 16:05:49 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the silence and the lack of release. If some of my December's patrons don't support me anymore, please, send me PM, I'll send you new chapter as I finish it.
My parents-in-law in late December, and my wife now caught covid. It's nothing alarming, but energy- and time-draining for ...
2022-01-04 10:25:44 +0000 UTC View PostOne of my goals during writing "The Parity" was to make competent NPCs. Pauline of course is the main character, and I think that you feel that many of your decisions influence the story directly. But some of your choices shape the story in another way. Here I give you a scene that fulfills...
2021-12-16 11:06:52 +0000 UTC View PostBelgaesh proposed that The Parity should have a Discord channel. I was thinking about it some time ago, but as I use Discord only for playing tabletop RPG, I have a small experience how such channel should look like. And however my wife surprised me with the plenty of inspiration...
2021-12-11 07:45:56 +0000 UTC View PostAnother scene that most of you would probably miss
Breaking news! Pauline is changing back to a boy in this chapter!

At least, for a while. ;) It's not really a spoiler, she was temporarily changing back twice during the story. And as a boy, she can have a ...

Chapter 13 will be huge and important. Probably I'll cut some passages, but I think it will be the longest single chapter to write so far (however, I'm afraid that chapter 15 will be long that I will have to divide it). Everything is in motion, so I'm excited to see the results of the future poll...
2021-12-06 12:05:57 +0000 UTC View PostChapters 13-14 will focus on the attempts of Caroline to change back. There are generally two routes - the first is against Robert, and the second one is against David. There's a little scene that will happen if Pauline doesn't join the humiliating of Robert.

2021-12-04 09:04:15 +0000 UTC View PostWe have 10 chapters to the end, so it's about 200k-250k words+the epilogues. The resolving of the paths is more challenging than their introductions. I try to note every element that should be explained in the story, due to Chekhov's guidance that the riffle on the wall must be shot, or the audie...
2021-12-02 14:08:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip is more important than you think. ;) It's a time of summary of your relations during the game. People there will be a rescue team if things from chapter 14 would get dark.
Olivier, Alina, and Justin are a basic set.
2021-12-01 12:05:34 +0000 UTC View PostProblem with a nasty comments fixed, thanks to Kingpin192. Please, make saves with the passages with some bugs - it would be easier for me to fix them. I have three various paths to test, but it still doesn't cover the all of the possibilities.
2021-12-01 09:50:49 +0000 UTC View PostI still work on chapter 12. I hoped that November and December would be enough loose for me to write 3 chapters, just to catch the delay up. Unfortunately, my work keeps me busy, and frustrated me. I plan to buy a computer good enough to work on the graphics and more serious game development, so ...
2021-11-21 12:48:40 +0000 UTC View PostI keep thinking about the way to implement everyday life into the mechanics that I created for "The Parity". And as I'm really satisfied with the basics of these mechanics, I think I need something else to cover the advantages and everyday life - something that could change and needs ...
2021-11-07 12:34:00 +0000 UTC View Post
I've started to work on chapter 12, so you can see the general idea. However, as there will be 4-7 people on the trip, my usual structure based on the passages seem to be less useful as general. I have a couple of ideas on how to manage the content, but I will decide during the writing.
I w...
2021-11-05 13:57:55 +0000 UTC View PostA little scene from upcoming chapter 12. It will be generally a little lighter than the previous ones, as I want to show some teenage life, and the relations (and the everyday struggle of Pauline, and how she adjusts to being a girl). But as the finale of the story will be political, there will b...
2021-11-04 13:51:21 +0000 UTC View PostI've shared my experiences with the mechanics of choices in the Parity on some forums. Maybe you will find it interesting. :)

2021-11-03 13:36:07 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Halloween! Finally, the chapter 11 is finished! And I've restored my life-work balance, and I even will have some vacation. :v And I hope that I will come back to some rhythm. :)
Thank you so much for your support. :)
